Protect Your Family from the Sun!

For anyone who has set up instant canopies before this is life changing! In addition to being lightweight and easy to carry, the new cam lock levers and pull pins on the Quik Shade SOLO STEEL series are pinch free and allow infinite settings which allows users to adjust as the sun moves or if the ground isn’t flat. See how easy it is to use and what makes it different here.

With the 99% UV sun protection built in, the canopies are a great way to have instant shade when camping, going to the beach, hosting backyard parties, gardening, at sporting events, tailgating and more.

With features that offer a customized experience and make one-person setup easier than ever, Quik Shade, the leader in shade canopies for over 20 years, just launched SOLO Steel, a revolutionary series of six portable, instant shade canopies that have reinvented the category with the latest in innovative design.

The SOLO Steel canopies feature the new, patent pending cam lock levers and telescoping legs that allow for pinch-free, infinite height adjustments to accommodate when the ground is uneven, the sun is moving, or the canopy is being used in the grandstands. The ergonomic pull pin also makes tear down quick and simple.

To satisfy the most demanding canopy consumers who want a durable, grab-and-go canopy that is easy to use, the SOLO Steel series is up to 30% more compact, which makes it more convenient to store and easy to transport in the roller bag. Quik Shade also optimized the frame design to feature overlapping eave tubes to maximize the overall strength of the steel frame.

For tailgating, camping, sporting events, beach days, and backyard parties that need shade and protection from the weather, the SOLO Steel collection of canopies offers shade options for one person use or groups up to 12 with canopies ranging from 50 square feet of shade to 170 square feet.

With top quality construction, the SOLO Steel series features the highest quality materials, including a featherweight top fabricated of Rip-Stop polyester camping tent fabric with water-resistant coating and features the Aluminex™ back lining that provides 99% UV sun protection.

Available in Black, Blue, Red, Grey and White, the SOLO Steel series will be available in retailers nationwide starting in January and will retail for $119.99 to $249.99.

The traveling exhibition Our Global Kitchen: Food, Nature, Culture, has made its way to Houston for the first time, at The John P. McGovern Museum of Health and Medical Science. Organized by the American Museum of Natural History in New York, Our Global Kitchen: Food, Nature, Culture explores the complex and intricate food system that brings what we eat from farm to fork and considers how producers in the future might feed the Earth’s growing population. This exhibition will include digital interactives, dioramas, and striking models.

Large-format and interactive displays bring to life important global and cultural food ecosystems that affect our day-to-day relationship with food. The diets of iconic figures such as Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps and activist Mahatma Gandhi are also displayed as part of this exhibition, which will be at The Health Museum – Houston’s most interactive science and health learning center – from June 1, 2019 through October 20, 2019.
